Quality and other technical information related to this item:

General

This item is from the inventory of degree information maintained for each survey respondent.
SESTAT degree information comes from multiple sources. In some cases, it is
obtained directly from the survey questionnaire. In other cases, the degree information is obtained
from administrative information and is supplemented by survey-based data. The degree inventory
includes only awarded degrees - degrees with complete degree level and award date information.
For more information on the source of degree information in SESTAT or on the ways that the degree
information is displayed by SESTAT, click here.

This variable is derived from other variables within SESTAT. More information is available on the derived J_ED_BA_MAJOR_ED_CAT_PUB page
